Hello yannl,
More seriously, ripping time of a CD depends on two factors :
1/ The ripping parameters (digital, digital secure, analaog) also depends
on your CD drive performances.
2/ The Encoder you'll be using (time depends on your processor speed)
What I often do is rip|PLS|encode using MPC --xtreme or APE with digital secure.
when ripping|PLS|encoding in MPC I get something in between 3-4 X meaning that
ripping|PLS|encoding time is about 3 to 4 times faster than the CD playing time.
So it's about 15 minutes for a one hour CD. (Pentium III 1Gig)
Ripping|PLS|encoding in APE will go to 5-6 X because the encoding time is much faster
If you use Digital large buffer |PLS| APE I think you can rip a 60mn CD
in about 5 minutes.
Although you should be aware that using the digital secure rip mode can lead to
long ripping time if your CD is badly scratched.
From my experience (faster to slower)
ripping params : Digital large buffer, digital secure, analog
Encoders : APE, MPC, MP3
When combining ripping parameters, encoder params, CPU perfs, CD drive perfs and
surface quality of the CD the combinations are endless.
I think a figure in between 3-6 X (between 20 mn to 10 mn for a 1 hour CD)
is what you'll get most of the time.
J'éspère que cela aide un peu.
Ciao
